Miller is a year younger than Teheran, and as young starting pitchers they're in the one part of a baseball career where age is a positive. But if Miller's stumbling finish is one reason the Cardinals aren't about to throw him a six year deal worth $32 million, the other is that after July 27 Jaime Garcia, four years $27 million, didn't pitch at all.
